Today, we are proud to recognize and celebrate our International Medical Graduate residents in honor of IMG Well-Being Day. ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿฉบ

Many of our IMG trainees pursued surgical training far from home and away from familiar support systems, demonstrating remarkable perseverance, courage, adaptability, and dedication to the profession. Their diverse experiences and perspectives strengthen our residency program, enrich our learning environment, and enhance the care we provide to our patients each day.

Thank you, Drs. Plummer, Ratliff, Rahimpour, Balakrishnan, Meyer, Yokota, and Edah, for all that you bring to our surgical family.

Leadership. Growth. Teamwork. ๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ™๏ธ๐Ÿ“š

Our rising Chief Residents recently attended the 2026 Leadership Skills Training for Chief Residents in Chicago, participating in a three-day program focused on developing the leadership skills essential for guiding surgical teams and residency programs.

Sessions included identifying personal leadership strengths and areas for growth, orientation to the unique roles and challenges of serving as Chief Resident, fostering well-being and belonging within residency programs, and navigating conflict and power dynamics within hierarchical organizations.

We are proud of their investment in leadership development and excited to watch them guide our program in the upcoming academic year. ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ

Competition, camaraderie, and a little controlled chaos ๐ŸŽถโœ‚๏ธ๐Ÿ…

As part of our continued efforts to foster resident engagement and a strong culture of learning within our program, we recently hosted the inaugural "The Cutting Edge: General Surgery Residency Olympics" prior to M&M Conference.

The opening event โ€” the Resident vs. Attending Blindfolded Knot-Tying Challenge โ€” featured walk-up music, good-natured competition, and plenty of laughter while highlighting the camaraderie that makes our program so special.

Congratulations to our resident champions, Drs. Yokota (15 ties) and Giangrosso (18 ties), and to our faculty champion, Dr. Sanabria (15 ties), on their impressive performances!

A huge thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the event such a fun and memorable success. Weโ€™re already looking forward to the next competition! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฉบ

Wellness, gratitude, fellowship, and celebration! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ

This week, our Women in Surgery chapter gathered for a special wellness luncheon to celebrate an incredible year of accomplishments, thank our faculty sponsors for their mentorship and support, and honor our graduating chiefs, Drs. Anderson and Arcand, as they prepare to begin fellowship.

Our residents and faculty enjoyed a restorative yoga session led by Gina Hart-Smith focused on relaxation, renewal, and wellnessโ€”an important reminder of the value of caring for ourselves while caring for others.

The celebration also included beautiful individual graze boxes from Boujee Boards by Roz and a delicious dessert from Cakes by Liza. Fellowship care packages filled with thoughtful notes and wellness items for our graduating chiefs rounded out the event and made the afternoon even more special.

We are so proud of the supportive community our Women in Surgery chapter continues to build and grateful for the mentorship, friendship, and encouragement shared among this incredible group of women surgeons and trainees.

A special thank you to Gina, Roz, and Liza: We were honored to highlight and support these talented local women-led businesses and professionals who helped make the event so meaningful. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฉบ๐ŸŒŸ

Congratulations to our PGY-5 Chief Resident, Dr. Jamie Anderson, on being selected to attend the Vascular Trainee Cadaver Lab hosted by Boston Scientific in Rosemont, Illinois this past weekend!

Please join us in congratulating our PGY3, Dr. Kassidy Price, on receiving a Golden Apple Award from the medical students at the University of Kentucky during her visiting Pediatric Surgery rotation! ๐ŸŽโœจ

โ€œDr. Price was one of the best residents that I have ever worked with. Her exemplary manner of talking with both patients and working with the team is something that I will take forward with me throughout my career. She went above and beyond every day to make sure that I was both challenged and had opportunities to succeed during my pediatric surgery rotation. She always had a positive attitude and was enjoyable to work with despite the stress of operating on sick children.โ€

We are incredibly proud to see Dr. Price recognized for her dedication to patient care, teaching, teamwork, and professionalism. She represents the very best of our residency program and the future of surgery. Congratulations, Dr. Price! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿฉบ๐Ÿ’™
